It’s not gamefreak. It is the Pokémon company. Very common misconception but nintendo and gamefreak only own the franchise. Gamefreak develop the game s as a second party. The Pokémon company handle the actual franchise (but somehow don’t even own Pokémon) under gamefreak and nintendo.

But expect all of these fan made Pokémon games to disappear and suffer a similar fate.
